Awesome post, thanks. Courage and bravery are rare qualities
Yay for Ms. Faulkner for choosing a different path for her family! She should be proud of her decision.
I want to say, I don’t believe you, homeschooling is so income-dependent.
but then I think of the movie ‘slum dog millionaire’ and the whole point of that movie: that education does not happen in the classroom.
My mother in law made the same choice to be non-violent and non-abusive with her kids after being tortured by a step-mom. Good for you! We choose to be unconditional, peaceful parents. It is hard work but so worth it.
I always appreciate the familiar voice of Sarah’s posts. Her pictures make me smile too, like they could have been taken in my neighborhood.
What I am wondering, there is nothing wrong with working at the pet department, or bartending, and serving a minor could have been an accident. Are you saying they turned out bad? This is where I get confused in my own life, when should you just accept people for who and what they are, and when do you turn away? If brother and sister are living a life where they are helping each other and live nearby each other to do so, that seems like a success. I feel dumb not knowing these things, like my internal moral center should just know how to behave, but I don’t, and I struggle with it.
Jennifa, I struggled with what to write about my cousins, because success is different with everyone. If my kid was happy working in the pet department I would be fine with that. For me, the failures are the combination of everything. Look up Adam Starseed. The one with the beard. He is a bit off his rocker. They dont speak to me, because I called the police when he had a plan to asend to the Mother Ship, which really sounded like suiside. That was on 11-11-11. His sister is not as bad, but selling to minors is dumb. You should always ID. Your job and jail time is on the line. :) I define a lack of success as not getting help, and how many CPS/police calls are in your life.
